Growing up in Michigan, I fell into a habit many blue-collar Michiganders found themselves stepping into: smoking. For the better part of 20 years, I was pumping smoke into my body as a I commuted to college or hung out in any number of bars downtown. I tried everything short of hypnosis to quit, and failed every time. Until, that is, I saw a coworker vaping one day. Soon after, I was done. Vaping saved my life, and the lives of countless others. So imagine my disgust at seeing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, along with governors across the country, and even the president, push banning flavored e-cigarettes, the single most effective tool for quitting smoking.
